This is a question for those of you who have the Metropolis book. Don't you think it's too violent? Sure violence belongs in Kult, but almost every episode in Metropolis involves enough blood and body parts for a whole group of splatter movie fans.

I've been writing some of my own episodes, where I try to give the city of cities a mystical feeling. Far from everyone is "my" Metropolis is a violent, mad enemy who wants to kill you in some sick and gory way. If the episode is involves violence, I try to involve something extraordinary.

I can't but agree with you. The Metropolis book doesn't fit very well into my view on the Kult setting. Too much violence, too much gore... where's the beauty? My view on Metropolis is a place of stunning beauty, which also is extremely dangerous, not because there are psychopathic maniacs hiding behind every corner waiting for someone to kill, but because it differs so much from the "normal" world (Elysium) that it might well drive people mad in no time. In general, I think that Kult should be more mysteries and less gore... but then, when there's violence, there should be lots of it, and no sparing the nasty bits.
